Yellow Skies at Dusk on my evening walk on the beach Condado, Puerto Rico, on my birthday March 22, 2017, inspired this painting of the point on Condado beach in the island of Puerto Rico where I live much of the time.
This painting was originally titled "Birthday Clouds at Dusk and as Art Card as La Punt at Dusk. I struggled with this painting for many many months to get the correct values in the water and rocks. I almost trashed it but decided to keep mixing and evaluating and looking and studying the values and colors to make the water and rocks believable. I learned a lot. Specifically to be patient, never give up. Keep looking.
This is the point that I drive and walk to in Condado often. Some times fisherman can be seen throwing their nets here.
Provenance: The original 20 x 16 oil painting was purchased by, and entered into the collection of one of my dearest high school friend and avid patron and encourager. You know who you are. Thank You.

PIGMENT: We use Epson DURABrite Ultra pigment ink which has a permanence resistance rating up to 105 years as rated by Wilhelm Imagine Research a leading authority of print permanence. For make print life display prints under glass or UV filter. Pigment inks such as DURABrite Ultra consist of pigment particles suspended in the ink. Once applied to the paper, they will not dissolve and will not stain if they become wet.
Epson’s DURABrite Ultra pigment ink uses an exclusive Microencapsulation technology where each pigment particle is encased in a resin. A unique polymer pulls the particles apart, so they are suspended in the solution and never coagulate. The ink base then helps the DURABrite Ultra pigment particles penetrate the paper. DURABrite Ultra ink uses a specific technology to control the penetration level of the ink and keep the colorant near the surface and a special formula that creates more Vibrant & bright colored prints. Conventional dye-based ink particles are absorbed into the fibers of plain paper and are soluble in water. Pigment inks come at a higher cost than dye inks but you can feel confident in your investment that will last for generations.
